Sorry to hear about your father. I was away when my father passed away.but only at his request, I did not rush home.. I got to talk to him on a Saterday morning before he passed. He told me then, to stay till the time I was to come home no matter what happens. he passed away that following monday. That Saterday night I talked to him they found out he had Cancer, and died Monday. But he been sick for much longer with Diebaties. My Girl Friend and I were spending time together when the word came, and it hurt her more than it did me, for she never got to meet him.

I did creat a Page for my father in his memory,

My mother told me about Dad in his last few hours of life. He was not sad, but happy. He was even joking. She said he was saying uh uh, yes, so she asked him Norman, who are you talking to? He said Jesus..

 

Hi, Midnight!!

My prayers are with your Father, your Family, and you.

Trust me, this is not The End for your Father, but rather a passage to a new beginning.

Peace, Prayers, & Blessings,
Bill

 

I am sorry to hear about your father. Losing loved ones is always difficult.

When my father passed away in 2006 no one even knew he was sick. No known diseases or sickness. He played golf the day before he passed on. He just thought he had a cold and a little cough that day. That evening when he stomped out to put his tea in the microwave he dropped and he was gone. He went the way he wanted to go.

I never got to hold his warm hand one last time or kiss his forehead one last time or even say I love one last time. I never got to see his face one last time. I had not seen him in six years but spoke to him on the phone. Even if he had somehow lasted until I could have flown down to say goodbye I would have felt better.

This is your time to say your goodbyes and hold his hand and kiss his forehead before he leaves for his journey home. May the Lord give you strength to endure that which you will so much miss having your father around.....as for your father he will be home.

:cry: Update: Dad died peacefully in his sleep at 6:45 p.m. CDT tonight, May 22. A couple of nights ago I put my cell phone to his ear as my 14-year-old daughter played a song on her flute for him over the phone. Even though he didn't know anything I detected a slight smile come over his face. He's gonna be missed by a lot of people but he's no longer in pain, isn't suffering, and will be reunited with his two brothers and his parents. Dad, I love you and promise to take care of Mom and my daughters and grandkids. :cry:

 

No more pain and suffering for him now Midnight. Sorry for your family's loss. I always contribute about $25.00 to $50.00 in the memory to the Cancer Society when someone of mine passes away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Drive safe everyone.

 

Aw Midnight Flyer, I'm sorry. We will continue to pray for ya, and your family.

So sorry to hear Midnight :-( keep your chin up
